Production

What did you learn during this production task?

I learned how to become more of a team leader in this task, because organising and informing lots of cast members is extremely difficult, especially if our organisation wasn't fantastic. I assisted in the technical team and so I learned how to story board and make filming schedules for each day.

How did the shoot go? What went wrong? What do you need to do make sure these things don’t happen again?

The shoot went reasonably well, I think it could have been improved by making sure all the cast members were fully informed. We asked for access to a classroom and got ourselves a setting, and it was a great room. There were a few blips when filming, such as leaving the camera on, and of course the bloopers from the cast. We also forgot to clear everyone out of each shot so that there were no random people, and so in one clip we have me sitting at the computer sorting something out, when I wasn't supposed to be in the shot! Doing my photography course at college too, also helped me to gain a slightly more wider knowledge of the camera and camera shots, but it was just putting them into action which was difficult!

Next time, we will make sure that we are fully aware of everyone, and make sure everyone knows where they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to be doing.
